Problems Rooting after OTA Gingerbread Update

[robert_0]

I just got the OTA Gingerbread update, EI22. I want to root it now, so I followed these instructions:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/ep...95-rooting-ei22-gingerbread-instructions.html

Everything goes fine until Step 7. When the phone reboots it does not go into ACS recovery mode. I'm not able to complete Step 8 and flash the phone for root access.

Anyone else encountering this? Any suggestions on what I can try to root? Thanks in advance for your help.

You would probably get more viewers to this thread if it was posted in the correct area

Please don't repost it, I will have one of the mods move it over to the Rooting and Hacking section...

Not a big deal, just keep it in mind for next time

I was having the same issue, but actually this guy right here gave instructions which worked great for me

I had the same problem with CWM recovery not sticking. There is an easy fix:

- Flash this Source-compiled, keyboard fix EI22 kernel: kernel-GB-3.tar.md5 from this thread at XDA using ODIN.
- Flash CWM with ODIN
- Flash Su with CWM

You should then be able to boot into CWM recovery.

also at first i thought it wasnt working, but basically it didn't actually boot me right into the CWM. after I Odin the CWM i manually went into recovery (shut down, hold: vol-, camera and power)

Ed H has shown to be quite helpful as of late.. I really appreciate his help and everyone else. That is exactly what a community forum is supposed to be like, members helping members... Great work everyone !
